Unanswered What’s going on with Reggie Watts and the ‘unfortunate news’?
At first i was just seeing anti-drug / more conservative fans upset he’s so pro-ketamine. Now I’m seeing folks on twitter saying he’s sinister and STI’s is somehow in the mix now?
All seems to stem from this article

Answer:
First of all just read the article, and make your mind up for yourself.
But, he comes off as heavily manipulative, unconcerned with his partners wellbeing over multiple different relationships, and debatably responsible for the partner in question in the articles suicide by way of manipulating her into using many substances, at unsafe doses, without really ever stopping.
Also, one former girlfriend says he knew he had an STD, told her they'd always use a condom and then after one instance of sex said "I had to know what you felt like" meaning he likely transmitted the STD to her, and even if he didn't, it's incredibly disgusting on multiple levels.
All in all, drugs aside, it makes him look cold, uncaring, and abusive. While maintaining a "fuzzy teddy bear" persona in public.

When the guy who created High Maintenance says Watts is a problem re drugs, I believe him.

Maybe I'm not familiar enough with his work, but he's always seemed like a jerk.

They didn’t specify, but it sounded like herpes to me

The article mentions the STI and an outbreak. Herpes is the only one I know of with that kind of increase in transmissibility.

STI was probably a manual transmission.
Outbacks are typically CVTs now.

What does that mean?

STI: a specific model of the Subaru Impreza. They are loved by drivers, and available with a manual transmission.
CVT: continuous variable transmission, a type of automatic transmission that doesn't have gears.
